Book Blurb

I thought I had it all – the perfect life, with the perfect arrangement, with the perfect guy.

To the world, Kevin Peyton is the heartthrob Oscar nominee. To me, he’s my best friend, with some sexy benefits.

But then I got a taste of his world. A world where being mobbed by fans, violated by intruders, and stripped of all privacy is the norm. I never realized how brutal being in the spotlight would be.

I didn’t fit into his world. I didn’t fit into his plans. I only wish I’d discovered that before falling in love with him and changing the game plan.

Sometimes changing the game plan changes more than the game. Sometimes it changes your everything.

My Review

I have never read anything by Ryleigh Sloan before but I plan to read a lot more by this author in the future. This may be her only novel at the moment but I’m hoping she finishes one of the many books she’s working on now so I can read them. It takes a lot to hook me into a book but right off the bat I was invested in Claire and Kevin’s story.

I enjoy that it took place in South Africa and Los Angeles. I can’t say I’ve ever read another book set in South Africa and it was nice to have a change of pace. The book lives up to its name; Cliche has a few riddled throughout the story but not in a way that’s cringeworthy or annoying. As I read I kept trying to decide how it was going to end and I was surprised.

I don’t think there’s anything I would change about the story, there are conflicts and resolutions, the characters have flaws and miscommunication like regular people. It is steamy and there is one scene in particular I’ve never read in another steamy romance ever before. Cliche is a fantastic read and I would recommend it if you’re in the mood for a steamy cliche.
